Swiss QR invoice PDFs—payment slips, bills, receipts—arrive with generic names. You need them renamed by debtor, creditor, amount, or reference so you can search, reconcile, and file them. Manual renaming doesn’t scale.

The fix: A Zapier Zap in four steps—no Find File needed. New File in Folder (trigger) gives you the file directly. Read SwissQR Code (PDF4me) extracts the QR-bill data as JSON. Code by Zapier parses it and pulls out the field you want (debtor ud_Name, creditor cr_Name, IBAN, or reference). Upload File saves the same PDF with the new name. Same file, searchable filename—every time.

This guide walks you through each step. Every field, folder path, and mapping is fact-checked from the Zapier screenshots.

You get PDFs—invoices, payment slips—each with a Swiss QR code that holds who’s paying, how much, and which reference. You want those files renamed by that data so you can find and sort them in a snap. Doing it by hand doesn’t scale.

The fix: A Make scenario with five modules: Watch Files (Dropbox) → Download a File (Dropbox) → Read SwissQR Code (PDF4me) to extract the Swiss QR-bill data → Parse JSON so fields like creditor name and IBAN are easy to use → Upload a File (Dropbox) with the same PDF and a new filename built from those fields. Same file, better filename, zero manual renaming.

This guide walks you through each step. All parameters below are fact-checked from the Make UI in the screenshots so you can follow along with confidence.

The fix: an n8n workflow that downloads the PDF, uses Read Swiss QR Code (PDF4me) to pull out that structured payment data, merges it with the file, and uploads it with a new name—by creditor, amount, reference, or whatever you need. Same file, better filename, zero manual renaming.

This guide walks you through the full flow: download the PDF, read its Swiss QR code, then merge and upload with a filename built from the data you care about—creditor name and city, amount and reference, or debtor details.
